After typing in su, no message appears on my phone.
When z4root is done go to the home screen on your phone. Then type in su. That should bring up the box on your evo asking to accept permissions.

Yeah I still can't get it to work. Sigh. I have MyBackupPro as well but it doesn't really save application data, unfortunately.The only thing that would stop z4root from running would be another app, you *should* be able to temp root with it and then use titanium backup, you just may need to install busy box through titanium (hit the menu key and go to help or problems, something like that).
I'm not sure about the success of not factory reseting your phone, this root method will erase what's on your phone either way so you might as well take as many of the problem causing variables away as you can.
Any idea guys??? i could REALLY use some help please. i have a paperweight sitting on my desk right now.![]()
"Factory Reset your phone" is part of the rooting process? No thanks. If it were as simple as typing a command in to the "root account" to become superuser, sure but I'm not interested in a factory reset of my phone in any way shape or form, so thanks, but I will not be rooting my device.
I thought it was hard to turn the EVO into a paperweight via Rooting. Jeez. No thanks...
Your guide worked perfectly man. User error.![]()
Thanks for the guide!
Hi All,
I am planning on rooting using this guide tonight when I get off work. I have 2 questions.
1) how long does the process take from beginning to end?
2) Once rooted, where can I find another guide for flashing ROMs?
Thanks, and I may have more questions later.

Has there ever been a problem with PRL and profile updating after this has been done? My EVO keeps telling me there are updates after i do the install and power down and take the battery out any suggestions?
Thank you so much for the great guide. It honestly could not have gone smoother.
I have ROM Manager installed and want to install Myns. I made a backup of Sprint Lovers according to your guide, do I need to back anything else up before flashing Myns? Finally, I am sure it is easy, but can you recommend a guide on how to actually flash a Rom with Rom manager ?

I seem to have run into a snag:
I followed the directions, got the phone rooted and the sprint lovers rom on there. But when I installed rom manager, I was unable to flash clockwork recovery, I get an error message: "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!" so I can't back anything up. I downloaded titanium backup and it installed another busybox, but I still can't back up on rom manager or titanium backup. Sounds like my busybox install didn't work or something. Should I run through all the rooting instructions again? And if so, do I need to revert back to the stock rom and unroot?
Here is the phone's current info:
Firmware 2.1-update1

I hope I haven't screwed anything up permanently...
